Big Tears Lyrics

Artist: Elvis Costello
Album: This Year's Model

Everyone is busy with the regular routineThe sniper just takes his aimEveryone is window shopping, no one is amazedEven if he hit you, you'd still think it's just a grazeYou go to a movie, you go to a showYou think that you're living, you don't really know

Big tears mean nothingYou can count them as they fallBig tears mean nothingWhen you're lying in your coffinTell me who's been taken in

Oh, you talk about the new boss automatic clauseBut of course they make it all up for youAlways fascinated by the weird edge of townCome home disappointed every time they put you downLaughing with the old boys, saying that it's all noise

I suppose big tears mean nothingYou can count them as they fallBig tears mean nothingWhen you're lying in your coffinTell me who's been taken in

All the buttons of my overcoatThey have fallen off one by oneYou wouldn't even like me if you'd never had a drinkYou wouldn't even like me if you never stopped to thinkStanding in the shadow, turning wives to widows
